The job loss tally so far today: 54,500.

I’m guessing is if we all really try hard to hope, things might change. Don’t you love the pragmatic wisdom that is bammyland?

[BOBTHENAILER]

didn't Sam's club announce 12,000 yesterday?

the hits just keep on coming for mister less than zero, mister dopey changey

[Campion]

Hope we can believe in ... yes, we can!

Careful, don't step in the Obama!

[poobear]

Not to worry. My Company was selected to do a water treatment plant funded by Tarp. This Project will take 1 week to do but the certified payroll will count the guys on the Project for those 5 days as “Jobs Saved”.

All is well.

[bcsco]

You can add an additional 10,000 EACH for both Verizon and Wal-Mart to this figure. They aren’t included but have also been announced.

Welcome to:

OBAMAVILLE

Gett’n a head fake,
watchin' msn’s take;
All of their pundits oozing foul oil.
Clean’n my six gun on my front porch swing.
Felling my blood--
It’s beginnin' to boil.

Wasted away again in Obamaville,
Searchin' for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that Bush is to blame,
But I know it's Obama’s fault.

There’s no rhyme or reason,
They are all commitin’ treason
With nothing to show but a brand new tax or two.
But they are real beauties,
Despotic duties, how they got passed
I haven't a clue.

Wasted away again in Obamaville,
Searchin' for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that it’s Bush we should blame,
Now I think,-- hell with them it’s Obama’s fault.

I blew out my flip flop,
Stepped on a pop top;
Cut my heel, but I just cruise on back home.
Because no medical care will the doctors render
They say there’s little service I can tender
And there’s no need for me to hang on.

Wasted away again in Obamaville
Searchin' for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that Bush is to blame,
But I know, it's my own damn fault.
Yes, and some people claim that Bush is to blame,
And I know because of my vote it's my own damn fault.

Ha ha. Even if a job is saved for one day, its still saved. Guess the joke is on us.

54,500

Make that 54,501. I just got laid off after almost nine years. And our clients are that most governmental of entities: schools.

[Gator113]

Until or unless Obama and the dems are removed from power, it’s only going to get worse.

I wonder, at what point will we have past the point of no return? I sure don’t know what that number will be, but it sure feels like it’s not very far away....

"Publix has said it would be holding job fairs and interviewing the estimated 5,000 Albertsons workers whose jobs are being eliminated. Calls to Albertsons were not returned."

Central Florida - as of Monday January 19.

The stores, including their liquor stores, are liquidating their inventory over the next few weeks, then closing.

[Phantom Lord]

Caterpillar?

Impossible!

President Obama promised that if his stimulus passed Caterpillar would not only stop laying off people, it would rehire those it already laid off.

You Lie!

[So Cal Rocket]

Hold on a minute... this can’t be true! Obama said that Caterpillar would be hiring if the Stimulus Bill passed...

Are all the Census jobs, jobs created, jobs saved or both? (sarc)

[So Cal Rocket]

Jinx! You owe me a Coke!

Same message... same exact posting time.

[Gator113]

That’s got to be so tough... good luck to you and your family.
